Not quite sure what other majors have but it just surprised me.
that is correct for the most part....we have a min AVG credit of 5:15 a day for the duration of the trip...ie. the min a trip with 3 duty periods would pay is 15:45...however we do have a min DAY credit of 2hrs...example day 1 is 8hrs, day 2 is 7hrs, day 3 is 1.5hrs. In this case the trip would pay 17hrs(8+7+2).....we also have a TAFB rig that we call F pay which I don't know what it is off the top of my head(and ya I should know) and we have a sit pay that is 2 to 1 for every sit SCHEDULED over 2 hours..ie. 3 hr sits pay an extra 30mins....I personally think the 5:15 is better than what we had a few years ago which was, nothing.
